Chapter: 1018
Jessie took a deep breath, composed herself, and reshot the scene. This time, she did not make any mistakes. However, her Limbs were still stiff from the initial shock, and she had a hard time delivering her lines.
The crew shot the scene with Jay next. As expected of an award-winning actor, his performance was better than Jessie's, and the scene he took with Maria went off without a hitch.
After filming several scenes, the actors took a break while the crew and the stand-ins began preparing for the next sequences.
"Go get ‘'em." Maria walked up to Myah, tapped her on the shoulder, and gave her an encouraging look.
“Thank you, Maria," Myah said while blushing.
Watching the filming of the movie was such a thrilling experience. With the exception of Maria, the majority of the cast and the crew consisted of people who had extensive experience working in the film and television industry.
Maria's outstanding performance alleviated everyone's concerns about the potential failure of the show due to the lead actress's lack of experience.
Jessie picked up on the shift in the crew's attitude toward Maria, and this made her feel even more irritable than she already was.
No one really laughed at the mistake she made earlier. However, the way everyone praised Maria irked her to no end.
They were going to film the special effects sequences next, and she could not help but feel a little nervous.
"Mr. Jackson, I want to shoot the next scenes without a stunt double," Jessie suddenly declared.
Everyone was taken aback by her request.
Even Francis was surprised. He pondered for a moment before asking, “Jessie, is your body flexible enough?"
Jessie nodded and smiled confidently.
“I've been dancing for ten years and have never had an issue with my body's flexibility. Moreover, I've also learned a lot of martial arts skills because some of the roles that I take part in demands that I do, although they are all for show.”
Francis nodded in approval. "You're playing the role of a noble lady It's enough if your moves are aesthetically pleasing. Indeed, if we don't use stunt doubles for the next scenes, we'll get better and more realistic results."
The next sequence consisted of an assassin sneaking into the mansion to kill the prince, who was being played by Jay.
The heroine and the princess were present in the assassination scene. Therefore, they also had to film some fighting scenes
In particular, the princess, who was the daughter of a general in the show, would have a sword fight scene with the assassin.
“Maria, you should also do some close-up shots without the help of the stunt double for better results. If it gets out that we're doing the stunts by ourselves, it will help with the show's promotion," Jessie suggested, speaking to Maria all of a sudden.
The excuse she came up with was good and reasonable. If Maria refused, she would be seen as selfish by everyone.
Of course, Jessie was expecting the other woman to decline.
Maria was a rookie actress, after all. No matter how good she was, she still lacked experience.
It was common knowledge that ordinary people had to face substantial mental hurdles before attempting even actions like handstands and somersaults.
